Well,
some of you may have noticed I’ve been a little neglectful of my online "duties" the past week or so, which is because of some home improvements we have been
doing. We’re not even close to done and now I have even more on my plate in the
foam of garbage. You know what they say one man’s trash, is another man’s treasure. I have so many
clothes that are practically brand new between the boys and my daughter, that I’m
thinking a yard sale is in order – especially since I could use the money on
new clothes for them.

The
whole yard sale thing got my mind going and reminded me of a easy "DIY" project I
plan on tackling while the hubby finishes up the kitchen improvements – A PVC
clothing rack.

This
is a great project for anyone who needs some extra hanging space or a nice way
to display clothing for yard sales and such.
As an added bonus you can even disassemble the rack by removing the PVC fittings for re-use of the
materials.

So
how do you build your own Clothing Rack? It’s rather simple. I f I can do it,
trust me so can you!

You
will need three sections of 3ft long PVC pipe, four sections of 18in-long
PVC and two sections of 5ft long PVC pipe. Regular PVC pipe and fittings
will work fine - Knowing the difference
between CPVC fittings and pipe and PVC doesn’t manner unless you’re a plumber. You
are also going to need six elbow connectors and two T-shaped connectors. Again
for those of you who haven’t worked with PVC before, you can go cheap. There is
no need for Schedule 80 Fittings in a home project like this. These fittings
only a professional needs to know about.

Now
you want to place a elbow connector at the end of each 3ft PVC pipe. Join the 5ft sections to each end of a single 3ft
pipe to form a large U. To complete the
base you want to insert the four 18in PVC sections into each end of the
T-joint. Join the T-joint sections to
the remaining 3ft sections at the elbow joints to form a large square. Make sure
the T-joint faces up. Insert the ends of the U section into the open T-joint
and viola you have a clothing rack perfect for storage or display.

My
husband is replacing our sink and garbage disposal this weekend and needs some
new piping so I don’t see why he can’t grab some for me ;-) You can really get
creative with PVC. If your into Pinterest, search PVC. I can’t wait to try out
some of the awesome "DYI" projects listed.

It is thе best time to make a fеw planѕ for the futuгe and it is time tο be happy.

I've learn this submit and if I may just I want to counsel you few attention-grabbing issues or advice. Maybe you can write subsequent articles referring to this article. I wish to read even more things about it!

I have to share this with my oldest daughter. It would be perfect for her since every year, she has garage sales and tries finding places in her garage to hang things. Now, she can make this and it would be terrific. Yay!
